Grand River Transit

[ijmorlan]

I'm in the same situation at R&T Park. I'm disappointed to hear there will be no shuttle service. The placement of the ION stop is really unreasonable, especially when the 200 that runs through the heart of the R&T Park is being taken away.

The whole design of the R&T park is atrocious. It should have been done as continuous buildings along Hagey Blvd. and Wes Graham Way, with parking behind. Then you could walk indoors or at least covered from the LRT stop to whichever section you needed (possibly ducking outside to cross the street, depending on the exact design). Also the streets would feel like somewhere, instead of just another suburban car-oriented space full of parking lots.

Note: I’m not proposing the absence of parking lots, which, combined with enormously better transit, would be my actual preference. I understand we’re not there yet.
